2009 Ford Focus Overview
(Click A Picture For "The Ultimate Best Price Negotiating Secret")
The 2009 Ford Focus is an affordable car that delivers gas mileage of up to 35 mpg, advanced features such as SYNC, good build quality and impressive driving capabilities.
SYNC is a voice-activated communications and entertainment system allowing drivers to use their Bluetooth-enabled cell phones as well as digital media players. SYNC is standard equipment on the SES and an option on the SE.
And there's a new look this year ... it's a sportier coupe. The Focus coupe has new front and rear fascias, standard fog lamps, a new roof-line spoiler and standard 17-inch aluminum wheels (on the SES).
Driving performance has also been improved. First, horsepower has been increased on the five-speed manual models. And second, faster acceleration has been delivered on the four-speed automatic models through the use of a new 4.2 final drive ratio, resulting in quicker off-the-line acceleration as well as a faster 0-60 mph time.
Also aiding performance is a new option for 2009: electronic stability control (ESC), which uses sensors and the anti-lock braking system to help correct skids.
The Focus is also available as a sedan. Trim levels include S, SE, SES and SEL (new for 2009). The S and SEL models are sedan only. The S coupe has been dropped for this model year.
All Focus models are equipped with a 2.0 liter, Duratec 20 dual-overhead-cam, and inline 4-cylinder engine. It's rated at 143 horsepower with the five-speed manual transmission and 140 horsepower with the four-speed automatic.
In addition, there's a very clean 130 horsepower Duratec 20E engine that qualifies the Focus in California as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV).
